ABOUT THE 1 IN A MILLION CAMPAIGNIn just ten years, Mental Health First Aid has become a full-blown movement in the United States—half a million Mental Health First Aiders strong and growing every day. In 2016, the National Council for Behavioral Health is making it a priority to train more first aiders than ever before. Our vision? One million Mental Health First Aiders in the U.S.“With one in four Americans experiencing a mental health or addiction disorder each year, the National Council is committed to making this important training as common as CPR,” said Susan Blue, National Council board chair and president and CEO of Community Services Group.Are you already 1 in a million?
